Analyzing an Act with the Audacity to Absorb Amusingly

I was watching an episode of Community last night when i should have been writing the blog post. Fittingly, I decided I should write this blog WHILE I watched, but soon forgot about that thought entirely and watched my show and went to bed. Anyways, Here it is:

Intro: This episode, as is common with many TV episodes, has a sort of two storylines going on at the same time. The episode opens with Jeff entering a Humanities class because he heard it was an easy A. The teacher believes that he is in the Dead Poet Society, and gives no tests or exams, just asks that they carpe diem ("Sieze the day") to get an A. Meanwhile, the study group discovers that Abed loves film. However, his father will not pay for him to take film classes, so Britta decides to help him with his passions and pay for his film class.

Middle: Jeff's Humanities instructor notices that Jeff is taking the class for an easy A, and says that if he does not "sieze the day" by the end of the week, Jeff will receive an F for the semester. Try as he might, Jeff cannot impress his teacher and "sieze the day." Meanwhile, Abed's father finds out about the film class and confronts him and britta about it, saying that he must carry on the food business of his family.

End: Abed finishes a film and invites Jeff, Britta, and his father to see it. Through it, Abed's father is able to see that film is a way for Abed to express himself and be understood, and is now willing to pay for his film classes. Britta is relieved and can't thank Jeff enough, until she repays him by kissing him right in front of his humanities teacher. The teacher sees that Jeff has "siezed the day," and gives him an A for the class.
